Yeah - I've never understood the heavy-hand of government/society and urban-life people forcing ideologies onto people in rural areas - especially when urbanites have no idea what it's like to live rurally. Have fun using your electric cooktops after a storm when the power lines are all blown down and you're waiting for the electric company to repair the lines.
Just let people use what they want to use. If it's more convenient for them to use gas, let them use gas.
It just comes off as holier-than-thou and self centered - ideologically driven as opposed to practically driven.
- inciampati 4y agoIf gas lines were run above ground and electrical lines below ground, you might be saying exactly the opposite thing about which type of cooking system is better in an emergency. Somewhat arbitrary, culturally rooted infrastructure features are dominant here.
- rayiner 4y agoI don't have a "gas line." I've got a propane tank outside my house that I only have to fill twice a year for both cooking and hot water. The fact that propane (or fuel oil) is energy dense, and easy to store and use with cheap infrastructure compared to electricity is a fact of physics, not "culture."
